“Good for the right business”

Christopher P.
10/25/22

I have been with CC for over 10 years now. They have grown/changed a bunch in the past few years, but their service and what they do has been pretty good the whole time. The pricing can be on the expensive side when you are sending a bunch of E-Mails (20,000+), but I have been satisfied with the results.

“Impossible to Cancel if Not Satisfied with Sneaky Cost Increases”

Mark R.
2/2/24

I noticed my bills were over $80 per month because they bill you to store contacts (ridiculous in today's day and age of low cost storage). After years with them, I called to cancel during work hours and have been on hold for exactly 1 hour and 10 minutes (see image below for proof as it's so unbelievable). The only way to cancel is to call them and they don't answer the phone. As a business owner, I don't have time for this nonsense...will never go back to them.

I talked to a salesperson and expressly mentioned being a developer that needed something that handles more than one site. I was told yes, we can do that. And they can, kinda. But if you want more than one pop-up (which is the main email grab on sites) they can only do one, on one site. When I wrote back after getting bullied into agreeing to a purchase so I could talk to the 'teams that handle developers' and then found out they only do one site, I canceled the next day. Their service doesn't work, and he knew it. So I wrote for a refund... been weeks, and no one will answer. They lie. Period. If you want to try them, good luck.

Tip for consumers:
Nothing that I'm going to type in public. Don't use them.

Products used:
I was lied to so I couldn't use anything.

Unstable and unpredictable. Do all your editing and try to save and it refreshes and blows your hours of editing way! I am looking for another service because this one is the worst! Tried to save in small increments (like every few minutes just in case) but it still refreshed on me and I lost all of it. I'm done, they suck...

Tip for consumers:
Don't

We're ok in the beginning, but charged me without using the service. Spoke with and they don't care about doing the right thing. Calling to cancel while on hold 20 minutes. They call this customer service. CEO is a mental midget, you think?

I, like many other users, signed up for a free trial with CC. Thinking I would have a week or 2 to figure out if the system was going to work for our company. I created our account and profile and within minutes of signing up I recieved a call from Andy and he wanted to chat about how I was going to use CC and how he could help. It turns out he couldn't help, until I signed up for a paid subscription. I do a lot of the social media and communications for our company, but I can not authorize purchases, so trying to sell me on anything was a waste of time. I would be more likely to sign up if the calls were about enhancing my user experience, or actually working with me to set up email campaigns. However, every morning Andy calls me to talk about the types of accounts I can purchase. It's a little more than frustrating. Other than that, the program itself is pretty self explanatory. The interface is good and pretty intuitive. Although I've yet to have an experience with customer service that doesn't revolve around selling a subscription, so I can't speak to how helpful technical support is because I'm always rerouted to sales (unless there is only one type of customer service that exists- sales).

My email (& an associate) were placed into their system by an unknown vendor. When i removed myself from one email chain a second from another advertiser popped up.

Not wanting to chase this down forever i called company directly to remove my email from theri system completely, along with any other email addresses for my staff. They said they could not do this, that i would have to provide them with contact information for each staff member to remove their emails individually. And when asked who put our names into the system so i could phone them directly to stop it, they told me they would not tell me who is addind my staff emails to the spam lists... so you wont tell me who from here you've added, wont tell us who is adding us, wont take us all out without a ton of work.

Some ethics.
Avoid unless you want to piss all your clients off.
